    Mesoscale Discussion 0907

    0347 PM CDT Sat May 30 2026

    Areas affected...Parts of the eastern TX Panhandle...southwest
    OK...and the Rolling Plains

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 302047Z - 302245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated large hail and locally severe wind gusts are
    possible with any storms that develop this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Boundary-layer cumulus is quickly deepening along a north/south-oriented dryline in parts of the central/eastern TX
    Panhandle into the Cap Rock and Rolling Plains. Confidence is
    increasing that isolated thunderstorms will develop over the next
    hour or so. Ahead of the dryline, temperatures have warmed into the
    lower 90s amid lower 60s dewpoints, yielding a moderately unstable pre-convective air mass. This buoyancy, coupled with around 30 kt of
    effective shear, will conditionally favor a couple organized cells
    capable of producing large hail and locally severe gusts. It is
    unclear if a watch will be needed, given the potentially isolated
    storm coverage, though convective trends are being monitored.
